This is a simple e-mail client uses any email server to act as a mail client.
Purely written in java. 

Advantages: No Browsers needed. No Email Client software needed. Few kb of files give you robost email facility.
There is no chance of hacking of your password, as you are using a configuration file to give your credentials once, and you are not directly expose to the web and any spyware/adware. Easy fast and one tool for various mail server. I use this mainly to access for my office mail, but it prove to be a good tool for gmail/yahoo etc.

3 most essential things before running the application.
	A>> You must a have JRE installed in your system <Jre can found by default on this location 'C:/Program Files/java', If not there you can free download one the URL given below.
	B>> You must specify the mail server/user/password to access any mail server. This is not restrict to yahoo/gmail, you can acccess any mail server provided you know the mail server/user/password.
	C>> Yahoo Mail PLus has the pop mail access except yahoo.co.uk which is free, To access Gmail, you must enable pop/smtp access in settings tab of your gmail account page.
	D>> to access Gmail please enable pop access and follow instruction here before accessing it. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13273
	E>> to access Yahoo please follow instruction here. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html
	    Yahoo Mail Plus is a paid service, but if you have an account as yahoo.co.uk is a free mail pop access. For that you need to go to yahoo mail account and mail settings you will get all pop access details there.
	F>>There are 3 'mail.properties' file as [mail.properties, mail.properties[yahoo], mail.properties[gmail]]
	what ever you use, the properties file must  be change to 'mail.properties' only.
	

1. Please put values accordingly in mail.properties before running the "jackmailclient.exe"
   Mandatory changes are:
       A. MAIL_SERVER_HOST=your mail server address
	[e.g, 
	MAIL_SERVER_HOST=mail.yahoo.com
	OR  MAIL_SERVER_HOST=10.100.90.100
         [this is for Office mail server]
       B. MAIL_SERVER_USER=your mail account with user name 
	[e.g, 
	MAIL_SERVER_USER=[e-mail]   
       C. MAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD=Your Mail server password

2. This is mainly built to access the official mail server from home,  If you are accessing any office mail server. 
   then your official mail client like outlook, outlook express, Lotus Notes, Opera, Netscape Mail Client etc
    must be shutdown in your system. Coz those mail client download all mail to itself into the hard drives.

3. Double click on row to view the mail.

4. Double click on attachment to remove the attachment.

5. You can send only one attachment, Max size is as per your mail server specification.

6. If you want to send more than one attachment plz do an archive.

7. You can stop 'on going process' by single click on the progress window.

8. Information of each button is given with tool tip, put the cursor to get them.

9. Back ground and fore ground color is configurable.

10. In order to access gmail account , you must enable pop/smtp access enable in your Gmail settings tab.

11. Yahoo/hotmail  you need to the check pop/smtp access . Note yahoo.co.in its paid, but for yahoo.co.uk its free.

12. Yahoo/gmail/hotmail took as much time to load depending on the number of messages in your inbox.
    Coz this tool read all mails from inbox, unlike office mail account. In office mail account only those not open in 
    office mail client will be visible. So less mail in yahoo/gmail/hotmail INBOX enable it to loads quickly. Note it doesnt      read any mail folder except INBOX. Good idea to use their mail client instead this tool for Yahoo/hotmail/gmail.

13.    There are 3 properties file for accessing 3 different mail server 
		1. For Office Mail
		2. For Yahoo  Mail 
		3. For GMail

	what ever mail server you want to use the properties file name must be 'mail.properties'. Suppose you want to use yahoo  mail server then in 'mail.properties[yahoo]' file put your user name and password and change the file name to 'mail.properties'

	mail.properties -> use your office mail server address for incoming and outgoing, user name and password and run the jackmailclient.exe.
	MAIL_SERVER_INCOMING=<your office mail incoming server address>
	MAIL_SERVER_OUTGOING=<your office mail outgoing server address>
	MAIL_SERVER_USER=<your mail user name>
	MAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD=<your mail password>

	mail.properties[yahoo] -> chnage incoming and outgoing address if it other than co.uk and use your user name and password, then change the file name to mail.properties, then run the jackmailclient.exe
	MAIL_SERVER_INCOMING=<your yahoo mail incoming server address>
	MAIL_SERVER_OUTGOING=<your yahoo mail outgoing server address>
	MAIL_SERVER_USER=<your yahoo mail user name>
	MAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD=<your yahoo mail password>

	mail.properties[gmail] -> put your user name and password, then change the file name to mail.properties, then run the jackmailclient.exe
	MAIL_SERVER_USER=<your gmail user name>
	MAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD=<your gmail password>


[NOTE: 
 
	when you double click 'jackmailclient.exe', if it doesn't run at all, The JRE is missing in its destination.

	If you dont have a JRE download it from the following location
